While looking to amuse myself ...

... I decided to check out Facebook and see if I could find an update on my pastor, who was involved in a biking accident last week.  That oughta kill about 5 minutes, I thought to myself.  And so I typed in his name and searched, which took me to his personal timeline.  

 

Well, I said I was looking to amuse myself, didn't I?   Little did I know that an amusement would jump right out at me. 

 

There, on his timeline, was an article my daughter wrote.  Not sure, for the life of me, how it wound up on the pastor's page.  Not sure how it's even linked to him.  At all.

 

But it definitely amused me.  Even sent me to bed about an hour late.

 

Thought I'd share it with y'all.  'Cuz I'm nice like that.  But don't tell my pastor that I stole it from his page.  He might never forgive me.  And heck, you don't want your pastor failing to forgive.  You also don't want your pastor knowing that you were lifting material right off of his page. 

 

So, enjoy.  And I hope it doesn't make you late for bed, too.
